Women in the Workplace

Growing up in a family of nine, it was very easy to try out lots of different things. When any of us saw another sibling doing something that they enjoyed, it was only natural to go over and try it out. I have many memories of watching my oldest sister play all sorts of computer games. In fact most of my young memories of her revolve around her being at a computer. She now currently works as a software engineer at Amazon, having graduated in Computer Science from BYU. She loves it and just really enjoys computers and being around them. With all of that said, she is also a wife, and a mother of two adorable little girls. She loves them and they love her and it is very apparent when you are around them. I do not know all the reasons why she works, but I know that her family is happy and that they all love each other. The point of all that is that it does not matter. It's not my business to know why and honestly I shouldn't care either way. They are doing the best that they can, and that is all that is expected. I really liked President Samuelson's address and I feel that my thoughts echo his. It doesn't matter what field a woman is in, the decision whether or not to work is between her, her husband (if she has one), and God.
